Blizzard just needs to buff everyting come phase 8. With all the boosting going on and stuff, just increase the buffs we already do have.
Experience gained increased to 300% (was 150%)
Gold gained bonus increased to 600% (was 300%)
Reputation bonus increased to 200% (was 0%).
May as well at this point.
Add more items to the real vendors as well when the scarlet raid is released or sooner
That, and another good idea I think would be to give a 30% speed boost for every class from levels 1-40 at least. The greatest hassle of leveling in Classic is just having to walk everywhere at a sluggish pace.
Heck, you could do away with the 300% xp increase and still have it as is, but the speed buff would make all the difference in the world.
not entirely sure. if they want it to be a purely endgame . . game. then i could see the argument.
Though my solution would be entirely different. I would increase the gold gained for sure, you level to fast to generate gold as is. faster leveling would just inflate all max level entry gear beyond afordable levels.
what I would do, is take the leveling raids (the BfD and Gnomergone) and remove their lockout. As it stands your not in that level range for a few days and get 1 maybe 2 of them. That would solve the gear issue when leveling as their some solid pieces in there (mostly at least). alongside your daily quests at 25-40 and 40-52 ranges (maybe amp the rep on the 25-40 range by some so you can always get the gear at 50 even with only 2 sets of dailies, and 1 of each at the 50’s range).
I don’t think the exp itself needs a buff. It’s already pretty fast. However I do think their needs to be more consistent options between the daily quests times that aren’t quests specifically. as classic wow quests were mostly designed to be all over multiple zones. With the leveling speed we have now, that simply won’t ever occur (need at most a 50% exp for zones to still be alive).
amplifying the exp would make things even more barren than they are now with leveling speed, and would remove any social aspect to the game pre-end game entirely. However, having the raid leveling dungeons be uncapped and taking 10 people. it would help a good bit to keep some social aspects alive and still level. Albeit that would need to come with the caveat of no lvl 60’s carrying the raid. Like it or not that makes them worse.
I like this idea more than I should. getting around is definitely a big thing.
Yeah, frankly I wouldn’t even mind if they kept everything the same (more gold gained pre 60 would be nice though) but traveling around from zone to zone is no fun if you’re not a hunter/druid/shaman.
That’s the main reason why I don’t like leveling toons anymore, is just the walking at a snail’s pace. I’d be more inclined to level more alts if they buffed walking speed (no, I’m not including the BFD boon which is rare on horde).
If you drop the XP buff for a speed buff it will just help people get to Azshara/Blasted lands faster.
Feels like time is a circle. We’re back at the point where I want mounts at level 20 like they eventually added to Retail in I want to say MoP or WoD?
Heck, SoD gave us those ashenvale mounts at 20, it didn’t break the game, giving players ground mounts everywhere at 20 would be fine.
War with in didnt do much for you huh?
I hope they make the 30 slot bag non-unique.
A bigger bag from Scarlet Enclave could be fun. A non-unique BoP 22 or 24 slot bag as a reward could feel really nice. I think making that 30 slot bag non-unique would kind of kill the market for any other bag and result in people just living inside DME farming fronds, but I do like the sentiment of increasing bag space.
Lower the mount requirement to 30. Give us all the tbc goodies.
More gryphon locations
Faster gryphons
ya travel time is a bigger thing than level speed. the gold or general travel speed would be a noticeable boon. beyond that it doesn’t really bother me at all. but these 16 minute flights from ashenvale > ratchet from slow gryphons and poor pathing do add up if you are on that side and wanna head down for ZF or something.
Minor speed to boots is a fairly cheap enchant to get, and is great for alts.
8% speed boost is hardly anything while leveling before you get a mount. Only way I can stand it is playing Hunter with cheetah and getting world buffs.
I don’t quest in SoD. It’s more efficient to just park in a hyper spawn spot and kill everything, raw grind. Unless the quest is right next to where I am.
Desolace is one of the best spots because you get the Centaur spot + all the rep quests right there. STV is similar. Great hyper spot with Nesingwary quests right there, don’t even have to move.
Shadow’s damage buttons are all runes, so you barely have to go back and train when you level.
Lol hell no, go play retail
ya hyper spawns, and the dream world incursions did very well for me too. I did some questing first time through and it was kind of clunky. though I don’t know many hyper spawn locations outside the early levels and dream world mobs :(.
